TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 1950 PHONE F-3361, F-33?l NUMBER 133 n II n TOO 6)(0 if ( Roth Pledges UP Will Wage 'Clean' Battle Hits Opposition's 'Negative' Attitude To Lure Voters Fighting back fit accusations directed it;i int the University Tarty, Chairman Paul Roth yes terday afternoon told a party steering committee meeting in Graham Memorial that the, par ty will continue to wage a "clean campaign based on sound issues." In a statement to committee members, Roth said: "The Uni versity Party has run and will continue to run a clean campaign basced on sound issued. We feel that the campaign which is be ing waged by our opposition is a negative one designed to get the vote of a supposedly non thinking student body. "The sensationalism which cer tain leaders have attempted to inject into the campaign has not been substantiated with fact and is an insult to all concerned. The UP is asking the student body to vote objectively on the basis of the issues involved. "Our platform includes the de velopment of a. student govern ment which will encourage full paiticipation by all interested persons and effectively reach all members of our student com munity; economical manage mint of student government funds; lower tuition rates; in vestigation and improvement of the Chapel Hill telephone sys tem, football seating for dates, and dormitory recreation facili ties. "Also, we rhall work for the establishment of a coordinating board for social affairs; closer student-faculty relations; more advisers for students, and facul ty evaluation by the students as well as further efforts to al leviate the parking problem and thereby return student cars to campus. ' "Our candidates seek the en dorsement of the student body on the basis of this platform and their personal qualifications not on the basis of any smear cam paign or unfounded accusations. I feci sure that if the student body seeks better student gov ernment they will find it by electing our candidates." University Party Debate Team Wins Again Herb Mitchell and Paul Roth, negative debate team, defeated the Princeton debaters -Saturday night in the Phi Hall. Topie for the debate was re solved; that the United States should nationalize the basic non agricultural industries. This is the national inteiTullcgiate debate topic for this year.

Proposed New Constitution Goes Before Students Today A revamped, streamlined Con stitution, product of six months work by a special committee and the Student Legislature, will go before, the student body in to day's election. A majority of the students vot ing will be necessary to pass the work. It. would go into effect immediately if approved. The revised supreme law has no striking changes from the present constitution, except pro visions for summer school stu dent government, but is designed to iron out kinks in the present law, and put into law govern mental practices that have grown from usage and legislative ac tion. The proposed constitution pass ed the Student Legislature unan imously after three nights of de bate. Principal argument during debate in the Legislature was over a provision putting a f rcsh- Cheerleader Candidates Name Plans By Zane Robbins Durward (Nose) Jones and Joe Chamblis, non-partisan- selection board candidates for the head cheerleader post, issued final platforms yesterday afternoon. Jones accented "thc'old college try" in his platform, while Chambliss made better student body spirit his main theme. Jones stated that, if elected, he will sec to it that "cheering will be carried on on a much larger scale than in the past." He pointed out the fact that the cheerleaders were often guilty of sitting on the sidelines last year while the students were cheering in an unorganized manner and accomplishing little in the way of pepping up the team. Jones promised football yells at much more frequent intervals in order to "let the team know that we arc there especially when the going gets rough." Chambliss' platform advocates shorter pep rallies, designed to build up more pre-game spirit. His theory is that the abbrcvi- ated rallies will be peppier and I the students will not get bored before thy are over. He also ad vocates in his platform a plan'for teaching the cheers and songs to freshmen during orientation week. Jones, on the other hand, said (Sec CHEERLEADERS, page 4) Coed Office Coed Senate Speaker: Kash Davis, Peggy Wood, Dodie Boyer Aderman (Vole for Iwo): Ellen Rixcy, Sue Lanier, Alice Hufford Smith (Vote for two): Kathey Wiley, Lucinda Cameron Mclver (Vote for two): Margo Kuhn, Ruth Van Camp, Beverly Sen Spencer (Vote for iwo): .

The rewriting of the constitu tion was the work of the Consti tutional Revision Tmmittcc, ; hfiaded by Attorney - General John Sanders. It is the first com plete revision of the present con stitution, which became law in the spring .of 1946.

The meeting, which, will begin at 7:30 in the Phil Hall, New East Building, will be open to all students.

Opponents to the anti-McCarthy resolution are planning to pre sent evidence that McCarthy is justified in attacking Truman ad ministration policies. Spokesmen fore the opponents called Mc Carthy "an American post-war hero who is willing to jeopardize his political future to make Ame rica aware of the pro-Russians who are 7 directing our foreign policy.
